Please Note: There is a typographical error in our catalog description. The spelling of the foundry inscribed in the bronze is “Alexus” The Alexis foundry was renown for the quality of its work, and was the choice for many leading artists of the day. We were made aware of this discrepancy very recently. Upon further investigation and discussions with our experts, we believe this to be a “casting” error that is not uncommon from the time of creation. We will guarantee its authenticity as described in our conditions of sale.

PAUL HOWARD MANSHIP (American, 1885-1966) “INDIAN HUNTER AND HIS DOG”.

Bronze Inscribed on center top of base “1926 Paul Manship”. Inscribed on side of base “Alexis Rudier Fondeur Paris” According ot Janis Conner & Joel Rosenkranz Indian Hunter and His Dog was one of the sculptor’s most popular and widely recognized sculptures. It is also one of the few that is not based on mythology but rather takes its inspiration in part from Manship’s recollections of his childhood in Minnesota. “Indian Hunter and His Dog is a fluid, subtly naturalistic work whose sophisticated triangular composition has much in common with the Diana and Actaeon groups.” (Rediscoveries in American Sculpture: Studio Works, 1893-1939, Austin, Texas, 1989, page 148. Manship was commissioned to install a life-size version of Indian Hunter and His Dog at Cochran Memorial Park in Manship’s home town of Saint Paul, MN. It is believed that 12 examples of his 21″ version were made. 8 examples are known to be in institutions. The last one to come to the auction market was in 2013 at Sotheby’s, New York, 12/4/13, lot 36 and sold for $1,565,000 (incl. premium).

Bronze Signed atop rock “Gutzon Borglum” “Susse Fondeur, Paris” on edge of base REFERENCE: Plate 60 & 61 on pages 68 & 69 of “Bronzes of the American West” by Patricia Janis Broder, 1974 In describing this bronze, Broder states “Gutzon was greatly influenced by the art of Rodin. From his study of Rodin sculpture, he developed a feeling for sculptural mass and texture. The roughness of surface gave viewers an understanding of the spontaneity of creation. The impressionistic technique produced a harmony between the power of the raw material and the artistic skill of the sculptors hand. However thoroughly he made his preparatory studies of a subject, Gutzon worked rapidly with great energy and thus retained the original vitality and freshness of expression.” SIZE: 16-1/2″ h x 20″ l PROVENANCE: Alice Osofsky (1913-1994) Garden City, Long Island, NY; Donated to a private CT museum in the late 1960’s by Alice Osofsky for a collection of Tiffany Studio glass & lamps; De-accessioned from a private CT Museum (name withheld by request).

EDWARD SHERIFF CURTIS (American, 1868-1952) CANYON DE CHELLY – NAVAHO, 1904 – 150th ANNIVERSARY EDITION GOLDTONE.

Goldtone Housed in a contemporary wood frame Signed lower left “Copyright 1904 E S Curtis” NOTE: According to Cardozo’s website this goldtone was produced using Curtis’s original plate and being a limited edition made by Cardozo Fine Arts. “Canyon de Chelly (pronounced “chay”, after the Navaho “Ta Sh_”) was one of the most sacred places for the Navaho and remains so to this day. It is located in Northeastern Arizona in the heart of Navaho country. Of Curtis’ 50,000 negatives this is considered to be one of his ten most important and powerful. The insignificance of man relative to nature is clearly illustrated through the sheer size (approximately 1,000 feet high) of enduring cliff formations that surround the riders. Canyon de Chelly is regarded as Curtis’ single most popular goldtone today and the contemporary Goldtone captures the subtleties and richness of the original negative in a way that was impossible a hundred years ago.” SIZE: Image: 18″ x 22″.

12-STAR CONFEDERATE EXCLUSIONARY FLAG.

There are a handful of flags of this configuration thought to represent twelve Confederate states, at least two are identified to North Carolina, this one is interesting in that the canton rests on the red “war stripe”. There is little written on exclusionary flags, but there are a good many in private collections and institutions. This flag is totally machine sewn, made of wool bunting and 2-1/4″ machine sewn stars. The writing on hoist “P WHITTINGTON” and “1YD AMERICAN” of unknown meaning. Flag with a 2-1 ratio which is typical for early 1861 Civil War era flags. SIZE: Flag: 17″ x 35″. Frame: 23″ x 42″. PROVENANCE: The Timothy Gallagher Collection. CONDITION: Very good overall.

FINE AND RARE ARCHIVALLY FRAMED 13-STAR CONFEDERATE FIRST NATIONAL FLAG, TAKEN AS WAR TROPHY BY MAINE SOLDIER, RARE SMALL COMPANY SIZE.

All cotton, all hand-sewn fine early homemade Confederate “Stars and Bars” flag measures 17-3/4″ on the hoist by 22-1/2″ on the fly, with double appliqued stars in an interesting shape of eight 1.25″stars in circle, with central star and stars in each corner of canton. The hoist edge which is folded 3/16″ shows 3 holes apparently made by tacks attaching it. Thirteen Star Confederate flags are rare and typically made early war as thirteen slave states were envisioned by most Southerners as the Confederacy. This first national pattern known as the “Stars and Bars”: were 7 stars, representing the first seceding states: South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. Each time a new state was added, an additional star was added: on April 17, 1861 Virginia’s star was added, on May 6th Arkansas, on May 7th, Tennessee, and on May 20, 1861, North Carolina became the eleventh Southern state to secede. Kentucky and Missouri are represented by these last two stars. There is a modern plaque in the frame that says the flag was taken to Maine as a War trophy, the circumstances of its capture and history are lost however and we cannot be certain where this information was from. Accompanying report from Textile Preservation Associates is provided with dye analysis and particulate material sampling from fibers is written by Fonda Thomsen, Sept. 4, 1999 showing good evidence of it being used in battle as remnants are black powder were found among the particulate collected during conservation. Her report is available online. SIZE: Overall: 24-1/2″ x 29-1/2″. CONDITION: The archival board in frame was cut out behind the canton so the reverse stars can be seen as well as the front. Colors are very good, overall flag is sound and solid with no discernible reductions. 51584-1 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2020

MAGNIFICENT ARCHIVE OF CONFEDERATE SECRETARY OF NAVY STEPHEN R. MALLORY, INCLUDING UNIQUE APPOINTMENT SIGNED BY JEFFERSON DAVIS FROM DIRECT FAMILY DESCENT.

Archive includes oil on canvas portrait of Mallory as a young man, in its original gilded frame; Mallory’s bound diaries were transcribed when donated to the Southern Historical Collection at the Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The diary is typed from his original diaries, with two carbon copies. Each copy and original are hand bound and these three copies were retained within the family. The appointment is unique and extraordinarily rare. This is the only appointment signed by Confederate President Jefferson Davis we are aware of, to any cabinet member and the document is totally done in calligraphy with the applied embossed seal of “PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA”. Not only does Jefferson Davis sign the document; he does so in an especially large, bold 6″ autograph. The document is also signed by William M. Browne as Secretary of State, who later became a Confederate general and was only acting Secretary of State for a few days in March of 1862. Doubtful any other document exists with Browne signed as “Secretary of State”. Also in family is a small circa 1820-30 French or Mexican sword with regimental markings most likely 2nd Battalion, Cadiz Regiment. This particular sword was carried by battalion skirmishers or flankers as per French regulations of the era which the Mexicans followed. We are not sure how the Mallory family obtained this sword, but appears of the era that would have seen the Texas revolution and the Alamo. Stephen R. Mallory (1812-1873) had a long and illustrious record of political service, most famously known as the Confederate Secretary of the Navy under President Jefferson Davis March 4, 1861 – May 2, 1865. Mallory served in many posts prior to and after the Confederacy. He was elected Senator from the state of Florida in 1850. Mallory, in his time in the Senate, was the prominent Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs. This was a time of rapid Naval reform and he insisted that ships of the United States Navy should be the best in the world. Mallory was born in Trinidad, British West Indies in 1812. His family moved to the United States and settled in Key West, Florida in 1820. He joined the army and fought in the Seminole War in Florida, 1835-1837. The sword in this lot could have some connection to the Seminole War era if indeed the sword was actually Mallory’s and not another family member’s. Mallory held several minor political posts until becoming Senator in 1850; a post he held until secession in 1861. There is much written and published on Mallory’s thoughts on the Navy in this time frame. After the Civil War Mallory was imprisoned along with Jefferson Davis and was among the few in the Confederate Government to be charged with treason against the United States. It was not until March 10, 1866 that President Andrew Johnson granted Mallory a “partial parole”; though Mallory was no longer in jail, he was required to stay with his daughter in Bridgeport, CT. It was not until June of 1866 that Mallory was paroled and allowed to return to Florida. By the terms of his parole he was not permitted to hold public office. He practiced law in Pensacola until his death in 1873 and is buried at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Pensacola. PROVENANCE: Direct family of descent Stephen R. Mallory. CONDITION: The appointment is framed and the exposed area measures about 15-3/4″ x 12″. Ink is all dark and discernible, though paper has yellowed and is cracked at folds. There is one hole approximately 1/4″ on mid-right quadrant among the flourishes of the fancy calligraphic Davis name. The applied seal is only partially discernible in embossing, but enough to know in part it reads “PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT…CONFEDERATE STATES”. The central device, in which embossing is also weak, is a scroll with only one word partially discernible “CONSTITUTIONAL”. Bound diary transcriptions are sound, complete, each with laid in early photographic copies of a few post war portions of manuscript. One of these notes written from Ft. LaFayette to his son is quite poignant as he thinks of Jefferson Davis still incarcerated by the US government (he would not be released for another two years) “Poor fellow, his hard fate is truly appreciated by me. I never was, & never could be a “hero worshiper”, though my sympathy and regard to my friends are ardent; and I think that I do not arrogate too much to myself when I say that I can speak of them all fairly and justly, “nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice”…This important defensive armor is habitually worn by Mr. Davis. Where & when he acquired it, whether among his Indian friends of the frontier, or among Christian hypocrites…” Book bindings have insect damage, but are overall good. Oil on canvas is 14″ x 12″ on original stretcher in original gesso gilt frame. Scattered in-paint throughout and uneven application of coaching varnish. Gesso design also has small areas of repair. Sword is 22″ overall, with 17″ rusted and pitted fullered blade. 51416-1 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2021

RARE ANTEBELLUM POSSIBLY CONFEDERATE USED IVORY HANDLED SURGICAL TOOL KIT, RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN THE WALLS OF A TENNESSEE HOME.

Large circa 1850 4-tier ivory handled George Tiemann surgical kit which includes large tourniquet, amputation saw, Hays saw and trephine for brain surgery. Kit retains two small scalpels and two large scalpels with removable handle. Still in kit are bone brush and a very scary looking trocar with silver sheath. This kit was recently found in the walls of an antebellum home near Maryville, Tennessee and was thought to be possibly used by a Confederate surgeon. Special Note: This item(s) contains plant or animal properties that may be covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We have taken care to ensure that this item(s) meets the standard for sale under the ESA. However, certain states and other countries have laws that are more restrictive than the ESA. It is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure that it is lawful to purchase or transport this item(s) into their state, and to obtain the necessary import and export approvals. Delay or failure to obtain any such permit or approval does not relieve the buyer of paying for the item(s) and consummating the purchase. CONDITION: Just over 20 tools remain and average very good condition, many retaining much of their original luster. Tools made by Tiemann in ivory are quite rare and quite early. This kit dates circa 1840-1850 and the ivory tools have no restoration and are original to when they were made over 150 years ago and are exempt from Federal guidelines concerning African ivory as these are “certifiably antique”. Casing is sound and solid, unfortunately missing the ID plaque in the mahogany veneered lid which would have identified the surgeon. Kit is missing numerous tools as can be seen in photographs, but retains several of rarer examples as noted. Partitions have soiling, small breaks and missing pieces, but still function and fit well. Several of the smaller tools are not Tiemann marked but appear original to time of use. 51116-1 (2,000-3,000) ESA – Lot 2023

Charleston, South Carolina, was the only city in the antebellum South to issue these tags or badges which had to be worn by any slave that was “hired out”. Each year a slave owner who hired out a slave had to pay a tax and the slave had to wear a brass “Slave Tag” proving the tax had been paid. The greater the skill and training required, the higher the tax. Charleston slave tags were authorized from 1800 up to the Civil War with the last badges made in 1865. We have offered several great groupings of slave tags in past auctions, but now offer, undoubtedly, the only complete collection of rare slave trades including the finest and only 1800 Huckster known. This badge is unique. Also included is the ultra-rare Carpenter of which no more than 4 or 5 examples are extant. Also in this grouping is the only known serial number “1” badge known and it is a pristine, non-excavated 1864 dated Mechanic. All badges in this collection are in very good to excellent condition with no repairs and all complete. All of these badges were family heirlooms or souvenirs excavated around various sites around Charleston and all with exception of 1864 serial number “1” Mechanic are of the earlier large varieties that are the most difficult to find. Slave Badges and the Slave-Hire System in Charleston, South Carolina, 1783-1865 by Harlan Greene, Harry S. and Brian E. Hutchins, 2004 is a wonderful, scholarly text that explains the quantities and makers of each badge and the census of known examples. All badges are authentic, original, and collected by a leading numismatics authority over a 30 year period. Almost all are maker marked and the other badges are noted as to maker as documented in the Greene/Hutchins text. Quoted portions of badge descriptions are from their text: 1) 1800 octagonal “HUCKSTER” No. 49. 1800 is the first year that badges were made which had to be worn at all times by new Charleston law. Few badges from this date are known and as noted this is the only known Huckster and it is maker marked “Atmar”. Ralph Atmar, Jr., a jeweler, was the first manufacturer of slave hire badges for the city of Charleston. No other city had such strict regulations and no other city required slaves to wear badges. The original ordinance published September 3, 1799 in the City Gazette stated the following: “Denomination” and price of said badges are as follows: Huckster, not under 30 years of age, $6 per badge. Mechanic, $3. Porters and Cart and Drayman, $2. Fishers and hired servants $1. These indeed were the categories and prices established by the ordinance. The terms in the press give us clues as to what the words on the badges were: “Huckster”, “Mechanic”, “Porter”…..” This unique badge was totally unknown to the trade until now. Two other Hucksters are known, both dated 1803, one of which is in the historic Charleston Confederate Museum at 188 Meeting Street. 2) 1810 octagonal “FISHER” No. 28. Another rare badge which is rarely offered. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso. John Joseph Lafar was the official badge maker for the City of Charleston for about 20 years. He owned slaves and also served as City Marshal from 1818-1830, a total of 656 badges were made in 1810 of all types. The survival rate on slave badges is extremely low. For instance, even though 644 badges were made in 1808 and 1809, no examples are known. During the Civil War, copper for these badges was so scarce that it was advertised for by manufacturer to buy old copper, no doubt many old badges which had no value to their owners now were recycled. 3) 1813 octagonal “CARPENTER” No. 35. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso and few Carpenter badges were made. Based on the great rarity of this particular trade, there are only 4 or 5 Carpenters known, one being 1811 and the others being 1813. The highest serial number noted is “69”. 4) 1815 diamond “FRUITERER & c” No. 74. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso and few Fruiterer badges are known. Fruiterer is a very unusual occupation by today’s terms and was not a fruit picker but actually a vendor. Lafar is unique in his badges that he added “& c”. Earlier badges had Fruiterer only. “It shows the confusing arising from the term, for a Fruiterer sold more than fruit”. 5) 1818 square “PORTER” No. 604. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso. Porter was the 2nd most common of slave hire badges made, but this is a fine example from an early year where the shape had been changed to square instead of diamond. 6) 1819 diamond “PORTER” No. 583. This badge is also made by Lafar, and note the change from 1818 back to a diamond shape. 7) 1823 diamond “SERVANT” No. 1328. This badge is maker marked “JJ Lafar” on obverse. This particular Lafar mark is scarce and only occurred for a few years. “It is estimated that only 1,261 badges were sold (1823) and that number of slaves were hired out, a great decrease from the year before, suggesting that the Denmark Vesey Rebellion, and fear of those slaves that hired their time, might have an impact on the practice in the year after the dramatic events. One slave who had an 1823 badge was “Mary”, a washer woman on the green. Her badge is No. 471, her owner stated in an ad seeking her return (Courier, March 26, 1823)”. 8) 1824 square “MECHANIC” No. 24. This badge, like the last, is maker marked on the obverse “JJ Lafar”. Mechanic badges are among the rarer badges found and this is the first of 3 fine, rare examples in this collection. 9) 1825 diamond “SERVANT” No. 1013. This badge is maker marked “Lafar” on obverse and has a beautiful copper patina, well struck with excellent markings. Servant badges were the most common badges made and this is a fine representative of an early example. 10) 1828 square “MECHANIC” No. 219. This badge is the last year that Lafar marked his badges and this badge is maker marked “Lafar” on verso. Lafar continued to make badges, though he no longer marked them with his name. All Mechanic badges are very scarce and this is a great example with a most unusual associated document. The document also dated 1828 (April 1st), is a Charleston Bill of Sale of two slaves “Sambo and Carolina”, both bricklayers who would have been required to wear a Mechanic slave tag when working in Charleston. 11) 1836 diamond “MECHANICK” No. 357. This badge is in remarkable, beautiful condition with a beaded border around misspelling or colloquial “Mechanick”. This badge was made by William M. Rouse. “William M. Rouse had been selected, perhaps because of his low bid (Courier, November 18, 1835)…estimates are that 3707 badges were sold for 1836”. Later badges by Rouse had Mechanic spelled correctly. 12) 1864 diamond “MECHANIC” No. 1. This is the only serial number “1” badge of any type for any year and is exceedingly rare. This badge was made by William Veronee and was the last contracted slave badge maker in Charleston. Less than 1,500 badges total were made during the last 2 years of the Civil War and very few have surfaced. Scarcity of brass for these badges is noted in that “many if not all badges from these years show striking on both sides, a practice carried out by Veronee”. This is a beautiful rarity with an impeccable surface. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. All badges have well discerned markings including cartouches, serial numbers, dates, occupations and makers marks. Badges have varying surfaces from quite smooth to pitted. 51563-1 (90,000-125,000) – Lot 2024

RARE & IMPORTANT NAVAL OFFICER’S SWORD OF COMMODORE MATTHEW PERRY ON HIS FIRST VOYAGE OF THE “OPENING OF JAPAN”.

This most important, historic sword is among the earliest regulation Model 1852 US Navy officers swords known. Also, as far as we are aware this is the only sword known to have belonged to Commodore Perry. There are volumes of research materials accompanying this sword, including letters from sword authority and historian John Thilmann explaining the French makers marks, dating manufacture to 1850-1855. Commodore Perry is shown in an engraving published in the London Illustrated News, May 7, 1853, which was taken from a contemporary daguerreotype whose presence is currently unknown which should clearly show the details of this exact sword. Renown historian and genealogist Nancy D. Rossbacher writes a compelling treatise on the sword and its inscription found on drag “THIS SWORD WAS ONCE THE PROPERTY OF MATTHEW G. PERRY, COMMODORE USN / WHO CONDUCTED THE SKILLFUL NEGOTIATION WHICH OPENED JAPAN TO FOREIGN / COMMERCE IN 1854 – PRESENTED TO ADELPHOI LODGE, A.F. & A.M. No. 33RI / FEBRUARY 7 1882.” The Adelphoi Lodge of ancient free and accepted Masons came into existence in Providence, Rhode Island in 1876. Perry had also lived in Newport, Rhode Island and is buried there. From the start, the Lodge aimed to be unlike others as its members were political movers and shakers, well connected men in industrial pursuits and finances, a proper home form the sword of Commodore Perry who made many industrialists rich. Commodore Matthew Perry (1794-1858) was a lifelong naval man. He first went to sea at age 15 under the command of his older brother, Oliver Hazard Perry, a hero of the War of 1812 and American icon like his brother. During the Mexican War, Commodore Perry commanded the largest American naval force and became an advocate for steam engines. Perry became known as “THE FATHER OF THE STEAM NAVY”. Perry’s greatest accomplishment began in 1850 when he proposed a plan for diplomatic missions to Japan. In 1853, Perry sailed on the USS Mississippi heading the expedition to Japan. He carried official Presidential letters to negotiate a treaty with the Japanese. Japan had not opened it borders regularly to any Western nation in more than 200 years. Perry’s report that followed made him a world wide hero in the Western world. He also became well known in Japan and his images in contemporary wood cuts are well known. There are monuments commemorating Perry’s opening of Japan both in the US and Japan. Commodore Perry’s opening of Japan has been revisited in a fabulous MIT 2008-2010 project titled “BLACK SHIPS AND SAMURAI”. Perry’s extensive biography and research notes accompany this lot. PROVENANCE: Commodore Matthew Perry, 1852-1853; Adelphoi Lodge, 1882; Mike Custodia (Providence, RI Estate Sale), 2009; Sotheby’s Lot #94, June 11, 2013. CONDITION: Fine “as found”.

FABULOUS CIVIL WAR ERA SILK EMBROIDERED CAVALRY FLAG AND SWORD OF CAPTAIN GEORGE ALEXANDER HOTMER, SQUADRON B, 3RD REGIMENT CAVALRY, NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARD.

This beautiful piece of folk art is all silk embroidered, measuring 47″ x 29″ in old wooden frame. Flag design shows mounted Civil War officer on horse with flourishing swords, as to be rallying troops to battle. The officer is most likely Captain Hotmer himself, as he is wearing regulation Civil War dress, a fabulous Hardee hat with crossed saber insignia and Captain’s shoulder straps. Captain Hotmer’s sword is a Model 1850 Officer’s Sword with rare silver grip and sharkskin scabbard, with fine relief detail. Two small accompanying framed,inked signs state that the sword was used by Captain George Alexander Hotmer during the Civil War and that the flag was made by Francisca Kline and presented to the Captain by the Ladies of the Squadron in August 1867. A quick search of Civil War databases was found to mention Hotmer several times in New York City, 1866-1868, in charge of Squadron B, 3rd Regiment, NYNG Cavalry. CONDITION: Flag is very good overall with bright colors, small areas of staining appear to be on the inside of the frame’s glass. The flag is folded around a piece of board. On the backside of the framed piece, the overhung portions of blue field of flag are quite fragile and fractured with old paper tape holding it in place. Accompanying sword appears “as found” with sharkskin scabbard, missing middle mount and drag. 32″ blade has easily discerned patriotic etched panels and William Horstmann agent mark.

EXTREMELY RARE IDENTIFIED 9-BUTTON FROCK AND TROUSERS OF PRIVATE DAVIS NATHAN HOSMER, 45TH MASSACHUSETTS, DIED NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA, 1863.

Rarely do you find such fine groupings directly descended from family with nice inked ID and family notes relating to the various objects in this archive. Davis mustered into service as a private on September 17, 1862, serving with the 45th Massachusetts in Company F until he died of Typhoid at Stanley Hospital in New Bern, North Carolina on February 10, 1863. Ironically, Davis had four brothers who also died during the Civil War, including a brother Nathan Davis Hosmer who died the same year and is buried in the Military National Cemetery in Baton Rouge. Archive includes his regulation 9-button enlisted frock, sky blue regulation trousers which both have his inked name and unit ID. The coat is better than average quality with some quilting and possible tailor’s name “G.F.Hegan” inked into left sleeve lining. Also included, infantry hat insignia, a linen towel, silk handkerchief, a pair of wool mittens, all bearing his name or initials in ink or stencil. There is a 4-piece keyed fife with maker’s mark “C. PELOULET / NEW-YORK”. Parts of a sewing kit and an old pair of blue lens eyeglasses and case. A scrap of newspaper found in one tail pocket has a partial article telling of the presentation of the regimental colors of the 45th. Also included are two partial wool cuffs and tabs from Davis’s regulation great coat. PROVENANCE: Direct descent from family. CONDITION: Frock and pants show considerable moth tracking with several holes and old family attempts of repair. The 9 buttons on coat appear original and are Scoville maker marked. Hat insignia is missing one loop. Fife has old string repairs, but would display nicely (at least one of Davis’ brothers was a Civil War musician). Wool knit gloves with Davis’ initials have severe mothing as can be seen in photos. Silk handkerchiefs and linen towel with his name are both very good, as are most of the other bits and pieces accompanying this lot. 51219-1 (5,000-7,000) – Lot 2028

THREE CIVIL WAR SWORDS OF BREVET BRIG GENERAL CHARLES A R DIMON, LATER MAYOR OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS.

These three officer’s swords are “as found” with dark patinas, apparently once burned in a fire, but metal is intact with restored leather grips. The two foot officer’s swords are both made and maker marked by Christopher Roby of West Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Both Roby foot officer’s swords have 18-19″ long etched panels with the unique, classic patriotic etchings Roby was famous for. Etched panels include cannon, panoply of arms, flags, eagles and floral motifs. The third sword is a German import listed by Peterson in American Swords as non-reg officer’s sword. This sword with iron basket has cut-out eagle with ribbon “E Pluribus Unum” and large “US”. The back-strap is inscribed “C. A. R. Dimon / Brevet Brig. Gen. / War of 1861-1865”. Charles Dimon (1841-1902) began service in the Civil War as a private in the 8th Massachusetts, rising through the ranks to Major of the 30th Massachusetts while under command of General Benjamin Butler in New Orleans and Vicksburg. Dimon was given an unusual command in September 1862 being in charge of the 2nd Louisiana Infantry which was made up of Louisiana loyalists and former Confederate prisoners of war. The 2nd Louisiana saw service at Port Hudson and was later sent to Ft. Rice, Dakota Territory, again with ex-Confederate soldiers to fight Indians. Dimon saw hard service the entire war and in many theaters and was Brevetted Brigadier General March 13, 1865. He later worked for General Benjamin Butler as Manager of the U S Cartridge Company in Lowell, Mass. and became the 37th Mayor of Lowell in 1901, dying in office in 1902. A file of biographical data accompanies. SIZE: 37″ to 38″ overall. CONDITION: Swords are sound and solid, though one sword is missing knuckle bow to pommel pin.

EXTREMELY RARE WM HORSTMANN, PHILADELPHIA, CONTRACT MILITARY CIVIL WAR FORT FLAG WITH INKED ID ON HOIST.

This massive 34-star bunting flag was regulation between 1861-1863. The flag has name of two Johnson family members and two tags relating to other Johnson family members. One states: “SAVING FUND SOCIETY, GERMANTOWN, PA”. The Germantown Saving Fund Society was founded in 1854. A third tag states “CASTINE, MAINE” where the flag was consigned from. A good genealogist should probably be able to tie in the six different names associated with this flag, and possibly ascertain its use in Germantown, 1861-1863. Regardless, this is a beautiful, rare large American Civil War flag. SIZE: 11′ 6″ x 21′ 8″. CONDITION: Excellent aesthetics and color. Generally intact but with multiple areas of weakness resulting in pulling, small holes throughout from insect damage, general fading in area of stripes.

RARE SILK CIVIL WAR FLANK MARKER OF THE 42ND NEW YORK INFANTRY IN EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION.

Rarely do silk marker flags from the Civil War survive. This one obviously saw little use. According to consignor, a twin to this marker is somewhere in the New York State Archives in shredded condition. The 42nd New York Infantry was organized through the efforts of the Tammany Society and the Union Defense Committee of New York City. All ten companies of the regiment were recruited from the New York City area, gathered at Great Neck, Long Island and mustered into service in June of 1861. Since the unit was organized by the Tammany Society, and that a large percentage of the unit were members of the Tammany organization, the 42nd New York Infantry also became known as the Tammany Regiment. Another nickname of the unit was the Jackson Guards. Ordered to Washington D.C. the Tammany Regiment, 1019 men strong, left New York City on July 18, 1861. Throughout its three year enlistment, the 42nd New York fought in nearly every major battle of the Army of the Potomac, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Petersburg. The regiment lost 11 officers and 141 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded. The unit also lost 1 officer and 103 men to disease. PROVENANCE: Walter Budd Collection, 1988; The Elizabeth Troiano Collection. CONDITION: Bright colors, original ties. Very light fracturing to silk. 51538-1 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2031

EXTREMELY RARE AMERICAN MADE COLONIAL-REVOLUTIONARY WAR MILITARY AMERICAN FOWLER FITTED FOR BAYONET, DATED 1773, BY THOMAS EARLE WHO MADE A CUSTOM FOWLER FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON.

This rare and aesthetically pleasing American Revolutionary War era arm was presented quite accurately by earlier collector Professor Charles Thayer, University of Pennsylvania: “Perhaps the most famous New England arms maker of the Colonial-Rev. Period, Thomas Earle was personally commissioned by George Washington to make a custom fowler for the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. This is the subject of a detailed article in Man at Arms (Dec., 1997, v. 19, no. 6, p 19-29). The present offering is a rare opportunity to acquire a signed Earle fowler. There are only about half-a-dozen authentic examples known, and most of these are locked up in major collections and museums. Other New England fowlers use French components, but this one, like others by Earle, is 100% American. It is dated 1773 on its silver escutcheon, just two years before Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill. British officers credited their American adversaries with effective long-range sniping using long fowlers like this one. Its military usage is obvious from the fact that it was altered to accept a bayonet, which accompanies it. This gun is a classic example of the “Worcester County” school, with its slender, graceful stock of cherry and typical “cloud”-form side-plate (See Tom Grinsdale’s book Flintlock Fowlers, pg. 60-65). George Washington had an extensive collection of personal arms; most were ordered from London. Clearly, the Commander-in-Chief considered Earle to be their equal. Washington’s Earle fowler has vanished. Of the handful that remain, this is the only one that is dated and the only one adapted to a bayonet. About half of the surviving Earle’s guns are stylistically of the 1780’s or so, too late for the momentous events of 1775. This gun has seen a great deal of honest wear, consistent with combat use. For example, the mainspring once slipped off the tumbler and split the wood under the rear of the lock. This was repaired with square nails during the gun’s working like. Like an old veteran, this gun wears its wounds with pride!” CONDITION: Old cracks restored as noted above. Brass and silver heavily worn from use such that details are light. Initials and date on thumbplate are barely discernible, but present. Wood overall has a hand worn patina. Only recent restoration noted is inset wood forward and under lock. Extremely rare, original American bayonet has matching patina beneath bayonet accoutrements and has been with gun a very long time as metal on barrel retains much of its original surface. Other metal surfaces of barrel and lock are overall brown/grey with pitting, especially around breech. 51268-1 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 2037

Please Note: A knowledgeable collector notified us that this signature was almost a perfect match with a signature in a letter that Einstein signed related to fundraising for studying the implications of atomic energy to society. When we researched this further, we found that a special rubber stamp was made to sign his signature for this letter. We do not guarantee this as a handwritten signature by Einstein.

Clipped from a typed letter with remainder reading “Faithfully Yours, Albert Einstein” all in type. Centered with a blue penned signature “A. Einstein”.

EXTREMELY RARE 32-STAR AMERICAN FLAG COMMEMORATING MINNESOTA, 1858-1859.

Printed muslin. This flag was official for only one year and many people were anticipating Oregon well in advance of it becoming an official state, so few 32-star flags are found. This is an excellent example with hand sewn hoist and hand sewn canton. About 5″ of the fly have been folded and sewn to make the dimensions closer to acceptance in the late 19th century where this flag would originally would have had a 2-1 ratio, which was typical in the late 1850s. SIZE: Flag: 24″ x 41″. Frame: 47″ x 29-1/2″. PROVENANCE: The Timothy Gallagher Collection. CONDITION: Very good as archivally framed, scattered insect holes as can be seen in photos.

WHIMSICAL CIVIL WAR HOMEMADE FLAG WITH 33-STAR AND 35-STAR CANTONS.

Most unusual flag where the finished side has 33 stars and the reverse has 35 stars. There do not appear to be any stars missing, so it is a bit intriguing. Stars are double applique, but none of the stars mimic locations on opposite side, which most professional seamstresses would have done. Flag is a mix of materials, at least two different red buntings, blue bunting and blue twill, white stripes are cotton with repairs made in a soft white apparent wool blend. Flag is all hand sewn with several different threads which appear to be a mix of 2 and 3 ply S-twist threads commonly seen during the Civil War. Flag has seen use and has later repairs, but even those all appear to be done with thread contemporary to the War. Flag has a patchwork, folky appearance. We are sure flag was longer at one time but has had several repairs including a 1-1/2″ fly edging made from two different pieces of red fabric used to make other repairs on flag. SIZE: 33-1/2″ on hoist x about 52″ on fly. CONDITION: Flag is intact as contemporarily repaired with additional restoration by consignor (See conserved photo). Ten or eleven stars on each side have been dyed or painted black at one time, possibly representing the seceding Confederate states. And there are other exclusionary flags known, though most just remove the Confederate states. Regardless, this is one strange flag and if it could only talk. 51538-5 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2049

WONDERFUL AND RARE 34 STAR AMERICAN BIBLE FLAG.

This little gem is totally hand sewn of silk. It has 34 whimsical gold embroidered stars that are double applique and scattered about the Union with no apparent design. Note that Confederate Bible flags are not uncommon and many were made by sweethearts and mothers and sent along through the Bible to their loved ones, but much rarer are the Union counterparts. As a matter of fact, this is the first Union Civil War Bible flag this cataloger has ever encountered in a public venue. SIZE: 11-1/2″ on the fly and just 7-1/4″ on hoist. PROVENANCE: Collection of Elizabeth Troiano. CONDITION: This flag has beautiful aesthetics and color showing great skill of the seamstress who made it. With the fragility of silk it is fortunate that the seamstress sewed a multicolored edging around its entire border. There are numerous small cracks, but few reductions other than about 1/2″ piece missing from second red stripe. Central crack where folded, but flag could be mounted and displayed easily. 51538-3 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2050

LARGE HALOED STAR, DOUBLE WREATH CIVIL WAR 34-STAR AMERICAN FLAG COMMEMORATING KANSAS, 1861-1863.

This is a very rare large parade flag that would have been in use near the beginning of the Civil War. Nail holes can still be seen from where it was attached. This fine flag has great aesthetics and was used. Printed on linen, canton has 2-1/4″ haloed star with thirty-three 7/8″ stars surrounding in two circular wreaths and stars in quadrant. This popular pattern is occasionally found among Civil War soldiers’ effects. SIZE: Flag: 16″ x 10″. Frame: 21-1/2″ x 15-1/2″. PROVENANCE: The Timothy Gallagher Collection. CONDITION: Flag is complete with fraying along edges, with soiling and staining, especially at fly end. Red has changed to a very pleasant red-orange. 51371-8 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2051

CIVIL WAR 34-STAR CAMP COLOR.

This particular flag known as a “Camp Color,” is one of the smallest official Union Army flags used during the Civil war. General Order 4, January 18, 1862 prescribed camp colors. It was used to identify the Union Company’s encampment, often positioned outside the commander’s tent. The pattern of stars and design found on Camp Color flags vary, and although they were generally made under Government contract, individual manufacturers frequently put their personal mark on the flags during construction. Flag in typical dimension found on identified camp colors. Printed on polished loose weave single ply bunting. The 34 printed stars are arranged in five horizontal rows with seven stars in each of the upper two and bottom two rows while the indented middle row includes six stars. Along the edge of the fly the wool is rolled and lock stitched. The 3/4″ hoist is machine sewn linen. Traces of pin marks suggesting it was possibly tacked to a staff. Although this Camp Color flag differs from flags using 2″- 4″ sleeves it was not unusual to find deviations in construction, even though they were under government contract the description furnished was vague which allowed for variations from the individual manufacturers. Camp colors are scarce; if you visit the State of New York Civil War flag site where many regimental flags are shown for the various units, it is noted that camp colors had low survival rates. SIZE: 18-1/2″ x 24-1/2″. PROVENANCE: Collection of Elizabeth Troiano. CONDITION: Very good overall. Scattered small holes, staining, linen hoist is cracked at edge. 51538-4 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2052

RARE GROVER CLEVELAND PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN FLAG OF 1884 USING CIVIL WAR 35-STAR FLAG.

All cotton mix of hand and machine stitch, 35 double applique stars with 1″ hoist. Hung vertically, flag exhibits 9″ cotton panel with cutout letters with dark brown background; one side reading “CLEVELAND” the other side reading “CLEVELAND.HENDRICKS”. Of course, Grover Cleveland and Thomas Hendricks won the election and were heavily supported by Civil War veterans. Possibly one such veteran took his Civil War 35-star flag and added the campaign names to his flag as the official flag for 1884 would not have been 35-stars which came in at 1863, but would have been a 38-star flag. Regardless of history, this is a pleasing and well preserved piece of American history. SIZE: 62″ x 48″. CONDITION: Very good overall with soiling and staining. Lettering, which is made from cutout white cloth above brown polished cotton, has folded and is clumped in some areas, but could easily be tacked back into place, clearly showing all of the characters as none appear missing. 51115-1 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2053

RARE HALOED STAR MEDALLION 36-STAR AMERICAN FLAG, COMMEMORATING NEVADA, 1865.

Printed on muslin. Archivally framed. This flag saw honest use and still has about a dozen rusted nail holes from where it was attached to staff. Flag has beautiful aesthetics and has been re-sewn at the fly end for continued use where it was undoubtedly frayed. Nevada still has “BATTLE BORN” on their state flag due to the vast amounts of mineral resource being mined and financing the Union war effort. This flag became official July 4, 1865, but Lincoln had proclaimed Nevada a state October 31, 1864, just eight days before the Presidential election and of course Nevada voted strongly Republican in the Presidential, Congressional and Legislative Elections. Nevada was by far the least populace of any state or American territory at the time. SIZE: Flag: 33″ x 27″. Frame: 39-3/4″ x 33-1/4″. PROVENANCE: The Timothy Gallagher Collection.

HISTORIC 37-STAR, GREAT STAR PARADE FLAG, COMMEMORATING THE DAY PRESIDENT JOHN GARFIELD WAS ASSASSINATED.

This beautiful silk printed flag with great star and quadrant stars is tipped into a scrapbook page with inscription “Given to me by Frank N. Walton on the day that President Garfield was shot by the Canadian Frenchmen J. C. Guiteau – July 2, 1881″. Charles J. Guiteau is the subject of recent numerous biographies and psychological studies of assassins. Guiteau was a bit of a celebrity the year he was in prison until he was hung, writing provocative letters to newspaper editors and is still subject to at least one recent biography. We’re not sure what Walton’s place is in history, but the backside of the scrapbook page shows the announcement of the marriage of Mrs. F. Neville Walton and John P. Lucas in San Francisco in 1890.

RARE 44-STAR “BEEHIVE” DESIGN AMERICAN FLAG COMMEMORATING THE STATE OF WYOMING, 1891.

Printed on glazed cotton and framed. The unusual canton is in the 7-6-6-6-6-7 configuration which forms a stylized beehive. The beehive pattern is a rarity in flag collecting. This pattern is known on a handful of parade flag in other star counts.

IMPORTANT AND RARE PAIR OF CELESTIAL AND TERRESTRIAL GLOBES BY JOHN SENEX (1678 – 1740).

Circa 1715, England. Each 8-3/4″ diameter tabletop globe mounted on its original baluster and ring turned stand. The terrestrial globe with cartouche bordered in foliage and drapery, a pair of classical figures seated beneath, and inscribed “A NEW GLOBE OF YE EARTH Corrected from the observations communicated to the ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON and the ROYAL ACADEMY OF PARIS By JOHN SENEX. Sold by J. Senex at the globe against St. Dunstons Church in Fleet Street. London 1715“. The globe mounted within a brass meridian fitted to the medial stand. With this version the “Isle De California” is depicted as an island running the length of the North American continent. The Pacific ocean is included with “THE GREAT SOUTH SEA” or “MAR DEIZUR”. Present day Australia is outlined as only a partial continent and labeled “NEW HOLLAND”. The globe is comprised of twelve engraved and decorated gores. The celestial globe similarly mounted on a conforming stand with brass meridian. This globe is lavishly decorated with all of the constellations. In the northern hemisphere Pegasus is depicted as a detailed winged horse, the constellation of Ursa Major is depicted by a large bear in close proximity to Leo Major and Leo Minor depicted as two male lions, Lobster nebula is realistically depicted. The southern hemisphere is dominated by a large Viking ship for the constellation Argo Navis and by the constellation Cetus depicted as a large sea monster with coiling finned tail. The constellation Sagittarius depicted by a Centaur with drawn bow. The globe is comprised of twelve engraved and decorated gores. SIZE: Overall 14″ t x 13-1/2″ diameter (stand). PROVENANCE: In the history provided by the current owner, this pair of globes was originally owned by Edward Holyoke (1689 – 1769) Ninth President of Harvard College. They were then gifted to his son Edward Augustus Holyoke (1728 – 1829) in 1746 upon his graduation from Harvard College. The globes were then gifted to his grandson Joshua Holyoke Ward (1776 – 1840) in the year 1820. Affixed to one of the globe stands is an old paper label, partially legible, inscribed with the date “1746”, “To J. H. Ward in 1820”. The globes then passed by descent through the Holyoke-Nichols family to the present owner. CONDITION: The terrestrial globe with overall soiling, darkening of varnish commensurate with 300 years of age, 2″ diameter puncture hole in the northeast quadrant of North America resulting to damage of interior plaster, although the paper of two gores is torn as a result of the damage it appears much of the paper still exists within the depression. There is a line of abraded surface corresponding with 45 degree longitude resulting from friction with the brass meridian. Spot areas of loss at abrasion at Equator and along the line of 50 degrees south. The stand with aforementioned paper label is mostly intact but with extensive paper loss to median shelf. The Celestial globe with a 5-1/2″ horizontal crack along the Equator terminating in a 1″ diameter concussion damage. Within this area is 1/2″ loss to globe surface and plaster with additional cracked plaster and split paper around the perimeter. The entire surface with soiling and darkened varnish and with spot abrasions and spot paper loss throughout, estimated at 2% of the overall surface. Brass meridian intact and functional. The stand missing two sections of the median shelf at opposing ends, each approximately 8″ in length with significant loss to paper surface. Both globes and corresponding stands have original untouched surfaces, the stands now with nearly opaque patina. The globes darkened by age as noted. Please refer to detail photographs of areas with most significant damage. In our opinion both globes can be professionally restored to a significant degree. 51018-1 (30,000-50,000) – Lot 2091

RARE AND FINE 1ST EDITION FOLDING POCKET MAP OF TEXAS, OREGON AND CALIFORNIA, 1846 MADE BY REQUEST OF BRIGHAM YOUNG FOR EARLY MORMON SETTLERS.

Very important and early hand-colored map. Map is in relatively fine condition, as is binding with gilt title and accompanying text. University of Tulsa McFarlin Library describes an identical copy in its collection with map’s history. “Augustus Mitchell of Philadelphia was one of the most successful and prolific commercial map makers of the middle part of the 19th century. The high regard his maps held was evidenced by Brigham Young’s desire to obtain a Mitchell map before he led his Mormon followers west to Utah in April, 1847. Seeking the best available maps of the Rocky Mountain area, he wrote to Joseph A. Stratton of St. Louis: “I want you to bring me one half dozen of Mitchell’s new map of Texas, Oregon, and California and the regions adjoining, or his accompaniment to the same for 1846, or rather the latest edition and best map of all the Indian countries in North America; the pocket maps are the best for our use.” Young’s party did secure their Mitchell maps. Mormon emigrant Albert Carrington’s diary makes note of his arrival at a Great Plains stream, concluding it was “supposed to be the Wood River of Mitchell’s map.” Brigham Young’s request for Mitchell’s map underscores its importance, popularity and why it was published in a large edition; it is a fine example of the pocket maps of the day. It was combined with a forty-six page booklet bound within a small leather folder labeled Texas, Oregon and California which described the area mapped in detail. Within the folder were an additional eight pages advertising the many maps available through Mitchell’s “Map Establishment.” The lower left hand corner of the map notes the “Emigrant Route from Missouri to Oregon” and was certainly of great interest and use to Americans who dreamed of going west. A table notes the “reputed distances of the chief points of interest on the route” between Westport, Missouri and Oregon City. The flood of American emigrants to the Pacific Northwest, encouraged by what they must have seen and read into Mitchell’s map, assured the United States victory in the demographic contest for the area. Printed on the very eve of the Mexican War, Mitchell’s map by title alone promotes the idea that the republic’s ambition was to become a transcontinental nation stretching west to the Pacific. Texas, annexed as the 28th state in 1845, is shown with its Texas sized land claims extending as far north as the 42nd parallel into present day Wyoming and west to the Rio Grande. In addition to Texas and the Oregon Country, Mitchell’s map also suggests what the spoils of the coming war might add to the nation; Upper or New California for settlement and colonization. The far west is shown as “almost” a part of the nation. This was the promise James K. Polk had made to the nation in his 1844 presidential campaign. The Mexican War would make Polk’s promise and the idea of Manifest Destiny a reality by 1848, adding nearly half of Mexico’s territory to the United States”. Reference: Howes M685; Wheat 520; Streeter 2511. SIZE: 22-3/4″ x 21″. CONDITION: Scuffing at edges and spine of binding, pages of text collated and complete within papers. Folding map is intact with good colors, some cracking at folds, foxing and acid burn.

EXTREMELY RARE & IMPORTANT HORSE & RIDER WEATHERVANE BY J. HOWARD & CO.

Third quarter of the 19th Century. Molded cast zinc & copper. Depicting a gentleman with long coat having top hat holding a riding crop atop a prancing horse. Applied copper mane and other intricate original applied copper details. Zinc having a beautifully worn whitened surface with very little traces of yellow sizing around the bridle. Beautiful original verdigris copper surface. Mounted on its original iron mounting bar. Signed & stamped on body “Made by J. Howard & Co. West Bridgewater, Mass”. Accompanied by a museum stand. Additionally, it is accompanied by an original pencil drawing (owned by our consignor) of Emerson Point, showing the weathervane on the well house, rendered by the famous maritime artist, John Moll, of Oxford Maryland, commissioned by Lucy Kennedy Miller, maternal grandmother of our consignor, and presented as his gift from the family to the next fortunate owner of this historic item. REFERENCE: This exceptional weathervane was located on the well house at Emerson Point, in Maryland, on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay (see image). Emerson Point was owned by William Hambleton and this property was figured significantly in the life of Frederick Douglass. Douglass was never a slave on this land, however he was such on Thomas Auld’s plantation near St. Michaels and on other plantations in the area. William Hambleton’s daughter, Rowena Hambleton, was married to Thomas Auld, Douglass’ slavemaster at the time – after Auld’s first wife Lucretia, passed away. William Hambleton gave one of his finest horses as wedding present to Thomas Auld. In Douglass’ autobiographical book, “My Bondage and My Freedom”, he references this: ” One of my greatest faults, or offenses, was that of letting his horse get away, and go down to the farm belonging to his father-in-law. The animal had a liking for that farm, with which I fully sympathized. Whenever I let it out, it would go dashing down the road to Mr. Hamilton’s, as if going on a grand frolic. My horse gone, of course I must go after it. The explanation of our mutual attachment to the place is the same; the horse found there good pasturage, and I found there plenty of bread. Mr. Hamilton had his faults, but starving his slaves was not among them. He gave food, in abundance, and that, too, of an excellent quality. In Mr. Hamilton’s cook, Aunt Mary, I found a most generous and considerate friend. She never allowed me to go there without giving me bread enough to make good the deficiencies of a day or two”, and further stated “Master Thomas at last resolved to endure my behavior no longer; he could keep neither me nor his horse, we liked so well to be at his father-in-law’s farm”. Regarding Emerson Point, Douglass’ first escape attempt involved preparations to steal one of William Hambleton’s log canoes on that property, and though he and his co-conspirators laid their paddles and food the night before the planned escape near the old wharf there (the remnants of which are to this day still visible), he was betrayed and was marched off to prison after being approached and questioned by Mr. Hambleton. On the property is a graveyard including the grave of Rowena Hambleton Auld, her parents, some of the Dawsons & the Jenkins children from a neighboring plantations. Emerson Point and its graveyard have been listed as a historical site in the Maryland Historical Trust Survey. SIZE: 28″ h x 27″ l. PROVENANCE: As provided to us based on our consignor’s research and personal knowledge of such: Purchased, installed & owned at Emerson Point, MD by William Hambleton (lineal heir of William Hambleton Sr. of Scotland, born circa 1636 & original owner of Emerson Point by deed circa 1659, granted by Cecil, Lord Baltimore), 1783 to 1855; Maintained at Emerson Point by the Seth Family, Circa 1893 to 1928; Purchased as a part of the sale of Emerson Point (noted on old maps as “Seth Point”) from the Seth Family in 1928 by Lucy Kennedy Miller (famous suffragette and leader of the Woman Suffrage Party, and the first president of the Pennsylvania League of Women Voters) and John Oliver Miller, and maintained by them at Emerson Point through 1964; Maintained at Emerson Point from 1964 to 2007 by Eliza Miller (daughter of Lucy Kennedy Miller & John Oliver Miller); Ceded by will to our consignor, (nephew & Sister-son to Eliza Miller) in 2007.; Maintained by our consignor from 2007 to 2012 at Emerson Point (under ownership of said Emerson Point property); Removed from Emerson Point by our consignor in 2012 and since then retained by our consignor.

QUEEN ANNE TRANSITIONAL MAHOGANY BLOCKFRONT BUREAU TABLE.

Circa 1750, Massachusetts. A rare and choice example made of high grade Santo Domingo figured mahogany by a gifted craftsman, probably in Salem Massachusetts. The proportions and resolution of concave and convex blocking are appealing features of this kneehole desk. The combination of the medial frieze drawer with drop and central cabinet with tombstone panel, coupled with the drop pendant and scrolling of the bracket base, present a particularly beautiful and unified design. The simple Queen Anne brasses appear to be the original hardware and coupled with the side undermolds for top (now missing) predict date before 1770. SIZE: 29-3/4″ h x 33″ w (case dimensions) x 19-3/8″ d (case dimensions. PROVENANCE: From a Maine/Texas estate being sold unreserved. CONDITION: Generally good condition. Lock to full width drawer missing and lock to cabinet door replaced. Repairs to hinges of cabinet. Originally top had side moldings below like many blockfront chests and particularly bureau tables. This is an early example piece feature and originally very often they are missing as is the case with this piece. There remain scribe lines and witness marks from their presence. Interior central well with some 19th century wallpaper (not hiding anything). Base with obvious signs of casters having been applied and later removed. A variety of “make do” repairs to stabilize various foot components with glue, screws, and nails, as is usually the case with bureau tables. The only replaced tissue that is obvious in base is a small 1/2″ thick piece of pine where the rear brace meets the floor. However, there are numerous screws, nails, and re-gluing is obvious. The bottom of the chest is composed of two pine boards which is somewhat unusual but the dust board for the full width drawer is composed of identical tissue and was unquestionably original as well. Overall, this bureau table has a high degree of integrity and retains a pleasing historic surface. One key present. 51398-27 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 2109

FULLY DEVELOPED CHIPPENDALE CHERRYWOOD BONNET-TOP HIGHBOY.

Circa 1775. Colchester Area, Connecticut. This highboy compares most favorably in design, cabinetwork and carving to all examples from the Connecticut Valley. It is a testament to mastery of innovation and familiarity with the work of shop traditions in New England and beyond, created of native cherry. The proportions and overall unity are enhanced by superior drawer organization and highly developed carvings. All of which contribute to this highboy’s claim to the height of Connecticut sophistication. There are multiple features that set this particular highboy apart from others of similar form. The boldly molded cyma scrolled cornice surmounted by carved counter-rotating fylfots; the complex highbred carving of the fan drawers; engaged fluted quarter columns on both upper and lower cases, all establishing an important and unified architectural drama; an arcaded apron with turned drop pendants (a Massachusetts characteristic and influence); the graceful sweep of the tall, ridged cabriole legs with superbly carved knees and returns with spirally concentric rings, and four spectacularly well-carved claw-and-ball feet. The bonnet has a most pleasing pitch to the cyma scrolled pediment with three plinths for the original spire-and-ball finials. The outer plinths appear to be continuations of the stop-fluted quarter columns: a common construction for plinths with pilasters or columns below. The tympanum board rises in a fashion and has a pleasing negative space, which strengthens the verticality of the bonnet. The moldings are cyma scrolled with a deep cavetto and the carved rosette termini are embellished with counter rotating applied fylfots. The top of the bonnet is fully enclosed with sheeting boards (establishing a roof). The interior of the box at the center has a complex molding returning to the backboard. This return molding is an unusual feature, and adds interest to the bonnet. As is typical of the most ambitious Connecticut examples the upper and lower carved drawers are potently different. The upper drawer is related to other shell treatments in the New London and Colchester area, notably from Samuel Loomis and Calvin Willey*. It is significantly influenced by Newport, Rhode Island designs of the Goddard Townsend shop. The decorative carving of the lower fan also exhibits remarkable refinement and complexity. The rays of both fans with incised crescents on the outer perimeter and stamped intaglio designs on the shell perimeter; punch-work designs of “fleur de lis” on the upper and “linked chain: on the lower. An unusually large number of rays to the shells with a stop-fluted applied convex sunburst at the bottom, relates to examples by Caleb Wiley and Benjamin Burnham*. The sophisticated joinery does not have exposed dovetails in the cases. Cherrywood primary, white pine and poplar secondary woods. SIZE: 83-1/2″ h x 39-3/4″ w x 19-1/2” d. PROVENANCE: Dr. Horace B. Haylett, East Hartford, Connecticut, 1935. Betty Barton Evans, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. CONDITION: In very good intact condition, finials are original, tips of drop pendants restored, very minor drawer lip repairs, age check in proper left front knee, maintained historic surface with pleasing color and light crazing. The brasses are period and in the original holes, and would appear original, but are different than those on the case when it was exhibited and pictured in 1935.

DATED 1761 CALEB ATWATER PAINTED PINE BLANKET CHEST.

This untouched and all original chest was made by Caleb Atwater (1741-1831) of Wallingford, Connecticut. The backboard is inscribed with the name Caleb Atwater above the date 1761. Rectangular molded hinged lid opening to an interior fitted with a lidded till joined to the conforming chest with bootjack ends. The whole in original red paint. The chest fitted with a single drawer beneath the till, proper left side. The drawer of dovetailed construction, reinforced with original rosehead nails and retaining original deeply chamfered drawer bottom and with original turned knob. Of single board construction throughout. Note: Caleb Atwater fought with Roger’s Rangers in the French and Indian War under the command of Col. Nathan Whiting and Capt. David. On August 8, 1758 Atwater was wounded during a skirmish near Fort Anne, New York. During the Revolutionary War he was an Ensign in the 10th Regiment but was released by the Connecticut Assembly due to his importance in the manufacture of saltpeter and gun powder. Near the end of the war he re-enlisted as a private July 25, 1779 and was discharged January 15, 1780. Caleb Atwater was an extremely wealthy and influential man and was considered a merchant magnate who supplied American forces throughout the Revolutionary War. It is known that in 1775, General George Washington visited the Atwater Store in Wallingford, Connecticut en route to assuming command of the continental Army. Caleb Atwater was credited with being the wealthiest man in the state of Connecticut. He also traveled extensively and one point became the largest land owner in Ohio. The Caleb Atwater home, which he built, still stands today and remains part of the Choate School, which was founded in 1890 by his great-granddaughter, Mary Atwater Choate. Caleb Atwater married Abigail Jones march 12, 1766, who later died at age 31, in 1775. He then married Ruth Wadsworth, who later died June 20, 1813. He had a total of eight children, including six daughters. Caleb died at the age of 91 in full possession of his mental faculties. In his will, he divided equally hundreds of household items and stock certificates totaling exactly $4,933.55 to each of his surviving seven children. Interesting note: Among the pages of items listed in his will is one specific entry which he left to his daughter Lucy Day. The entry describes “chest with drawer” which was valued at $0.25. This was a chest that he made, signed and dated “1761” at the age of 20, which is the chest being offered here today. A partial copy of his will, a color photo taken of a portrait of Caleb Atwater, the original of which hangs in the home that he built in 1760 on the grounds of the present Choate school and other historically relevant information will accompany this lot. The historic Caleb Atwater home currently houses the administrative offices of what is now known at the Choate-Rosemary Hall school in Wallingford, Connecticut. It is also interesting to note the home on Christian Street called “The Cottage” was built by Capt. Caleb Atwater in 1760, where he continued to live until 1774, at which point he built a larger homestead next door. His original cottage was originally painted red, and retained that color for nearly 200 years, and had always been known as “The Red Cottage” to generations of Atwaters and Choates. The original color of his blanket chest was also red. SIZE: 23″ h x 50-1/2″ l x 17-1/2″ d. PROVENANCE: Ex collection of Joan L. Thayer (found in Westbrook, Connecticut in 1979 by Robert L. Thayer).

An accurately detailed model of a canvas-covered wood-framed canoe; retaining the original green painted and varnished surface, with KENNEBEC stenciled on the sides; retaining the original woven basket type seats (predating cane). The closed gunnels and shape to the bows suggest a date of the early 1900’s. Retaining the original Kennebec Model metal label on the bow. NOTE: These sample canoes were created for advertising purposes and were hung in shops of sporting goods suppliers and used as salesman’s samples. Generally these canoes were about 4′ long, and were given to wholesale accounts that ordered rail boxcars of full-size canoes. Larger sample canoes, as this is, required a greater purchase or a special order. These salesman’s sample canoes are rare and desirable for their advertising merit, as well as for their decorative appeal. This is a particularly fine example in terms of scale, large size, and early boldly lettered advertising, in remarkable condition. SIZE: 66″ l. CONDITION: Very good condition with expected age darkening to varnished interior. Upon close inspection the large block letters “Kennebec” can be seen at center on each side under the green paint. We believe that it is possible that the manufacturer moved the name to the bow and this was repainted at that early time. 51174-1 (12,000-18,000) – Lot 2151

Please Note: Upon closer examination, we noted that this sample has open gunwales, not closed gunwales. In addition, it does not show design elements common to the Carleton Canoe Co. on the gunwales, so we cannot guarantee that it is a Carleton model. The Carleton Canoe Company was acquired by Old Town Canoe Company in 1910. Consequently we now believe that the vintage is the first quarter of the 20th Century. Finally, we noted evidence of small repairs on the hull of the canoe.

WARREN MCARTHUR LABELED ARMCHAIR.

Circa 1930-1933. Los Angeles, California. Warren McArthur (American, 1885-1961). The armchair with three brushed and polished slats, the tubular stiles continuing to flattened armrests on conforming supports continuing to frontal legs centering the square seat cushion frame, the whole raised on tubular legs with box stretchers, all with decorative polished molded discs. The armchair with original paper label beneath proper left arm: “WARREN McARTHUR FURNITURE/LOS ANGELES, CALIF./PATENTS PENDING”. Literature: Sarah Nicholes, ed., Aluminum by Design, exh. cat., Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, 2000, p.216-217 for similar examples. NOTE: The “patent pending” on the label suggest that this chair is pre-1936. McArthur submitted a number of patents for furniture, mostly in the period between 1930 and 1932 which were not issued until 1936. This leads us to believe the chair offered here today was made after the submission of the patent application and before the patent was actually issued. This chair has an overall resemblance to the one illustrated in McArthur’s 1930 patent #19909, wherein the arm supports are now contiguous to the front legs. By the time the McArthur catalog of 1936 was published, his designs and styles were no longer recta-linear but showed more curves in the design. Reference: John Gordon, Curator of Decorative Arts, Yale University. SIZE: 32-1/12″ h at back x 15″ h of seat x 24-1/2″ w overall. PROVENANCE: This chair and the rest of the suite were most likely commissioned for the 1932 wedding of Marion Nichols and William Payson Viles. The Viles lived in New York City until returning to the family home in Augusta, Maine in 1950. Mrs. Viles dies in 1954 and this chair was found in the barn after the last surviving family member passed away in 2012. CONDITION: Chair is structurally intact. The original seat cushion is present and in need of recovering. The wood arms retain original green enamel paint, now weathered and dry with substantial paint loss. Label is intact and legible. Chair is in overall good condition. 51472-4 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 2396

UNIQUE AND HISTORIC ARCHIVE OF NUCLEAR SUBMARINE USS NAUTILUS JOURNEY BENEATH THE NORTH POLE, AUGUST 3, 1958, INCLUDING NAUTILUS’S ICONIC FLAG OF VOYAGE.

Few maritime exploits in history had so startled the world as the silent and secret transpolar voyage of the US Navy’s nuclear submarine Nautilus. This event was the beginning of nuclear arms race that wrote American history for the next few decades. On July 23, 1958, NAUTILUS departed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii under top secret orders to conduct “Operation Sunshine”, the first crossing of the North Pole by a ship. At 11:15pm on August 3, 1958, Nautilus’ Commanding Officer, Commander William R. Anderson, announced to his crew, “For the world, our country, and the Navy – the North Pole.” With 116 men aboard, Nautilus had accomplished the “impossible”, reaching the geographic North Pole – 90 degrees North. Chester William Nimitz (February 24, 1885-February 20, 1966) was a Fleet Admiral of the United States Navy. He played a major role in the naval history of World War II as Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Fleet for U.S. naval forces and commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas for the U.S. and Allied air, land, and sea forces during World War II. Nimitz was the leading U.S. Navy authority on submarines. Qualified in submarines during his early years, he later oversaw the conversion of these vessels’ propulsion from gasoline to diesel, and then later was key in acquiring approval to build the worlds’ first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus. No wonder he was given these rare objects by Commander Anderson. This archive includes a small US flag inscribed on hoist: “THIS WAS PRESENTED TO ME BY THE SKIPPER OF THE USS NAUTILUS SSN 571 AFTER HER NORTH POLE RUN 3 AUG 1958″ signed by C.W. Nimitz. Attached to the hoist forward of presentation was one of Nimitz’ sterling silver Fleet Admiral insignias. This regulation boat flag measures 16-1/2″ on hoist and 32-3/4” on fly. Flag on opposite of hoist is stenciled “US NO 12 M1 44”. Also in the archive are two embroidered insignia, one being a 5″ x 5″ square unit patch for the Nautilus, identical to the one worn by Commander Anderson as pictured on cover of September 1, 1958 LIFE Magazine, and a 6″ round commemorative patch memorializing the journey beneath the North Pole. Also included in archive is an 8″ x 11″ image of the Nautilus showing a small American flag aft of conning tower and a contemporary matchbook cover depicting the Nautilus insignia. A little more research should be able to ascertain who Nimitz gave this grouping to as all we know from the inscription is “Ken”. Ken must be an important person in Nimitz’ career to have been given these valuable and historic souvenirs. PROVENANCE: Chester W. Nimitz (February 24, 1885-Feburary 20, 1966); Ex-collection Dr. John Reckless, Durham, NC. CONDITION: Very good overall. 51200-1 (7,000-9,000) – Lot 2512

BOSTON JOURNAL PICTORAL ATLAS (1900); 1864 COAST SURVEY AND TREATISE OF THE LAW RELATIVE TO MERCHANT SHIPS AND SEAMEN.

The report of the superintendent of the coast survey has professor Bache’s compliments on the front paste down. Small folio which is sound but has split to hinges and numerous gouges to the boards. There are thirty-nine folding charts. Chart 5 (St. George’s River, Maine) was withdrawn and awaited the next report. The first twenty-seven charts focus on the east coast. There are two Mississippi charts and a chart of the Ohio River. The three sheets of the western coast are new editions. The charts examined all appear very good to fine. 2) The Atlas volume is in color with numerous additional charts. It is barely holding together but the boards are present with much fraying along the edges. Tall folio. The treatise is authored by Charles Abbott. Published Boston by Hillard & Gray, 1829. Fourth American from the fifth London and is in 625 pp including the index. The additional text is by one of the century’s great American jurists, Joseph Storry. PROVENANCE: Maralyn Young estate, Arundel/Falmouth Maine, being sold unreserved. CONDITION: Although the maps in the atlas are generally very good, the exterior appearance of the atlas is less than desirable. The coast survey passes condition muster and is actually far better than most and appears to have had little use given the absence of water stains and the like. The Maritime Treatise is sound but appears to have spent time aboard ship in light of the water stains. Abrasions to the full leather binding and part of the red spine label missing. There are ciphers on the end matter. 51412-101 (250-350) – Lot 2581
